Effects of Distinct Force Magnitude of Spinal Manipulative Therapy on Blood Biomarkers of Inflammation: A Proof of Principle Study in Healthy Young Adults
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the influence of thoracic spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) of different force magnitudes on blood biomarkers of inflammation in healthy adults.
METHODS: Nineteen healthy young adults (10 female, age: 25.6 ± 1.2 years) were randomized into the following 3 groups: (1) control (preload only), (2) single thoracic SMT with a total peak force of 400N, and (3) single thoracic SMT with …
